Delivery to Gillingham: what helps

Rolls are compressed and wrapped; they are light but take up space, so tell us if storage is tight. Gillingham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • In summer Gillingham gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Picking the right product

Keep it ventilated

When insulating a loft, keep eaves vents clear so the roof space stays ventilated.

How much for a loft?

The common recommendation is 270 mm in total: usually 100 mm between the joists and 170 mm across them. Check the depth already there.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Working out quantities for your Gillingham job

A 6 × 5 m loft (30 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 4 rolls of 100 mm and 7 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator
